Scott Pros

Richard Culver makes his home in Juneau, Alaska, and specializes in fishing the coastline of Southeast Alaska. The rivers Richard guides are among the finest coldwater fisheries on earth. Five species of salmon and steelhead travel these rivers, with populations of char and trout trailing close behind. Richard also fishes and guides the saltwater bays of Juneau and the surrounding area for silver salmon in the fall time. He offers his clients the unique opportunity to catch large silvers (fish exceeding 15 pounds are common), before they enter the rivers. Richard also offers Mother Ship trips aboard an 87 foot luxury vessel throughout the outer coast of Southeast Alaska. These unique trips allow anglers to fish many different rivers during the course of a week, exploring coves and estuaries with a fleet of Zodiaks.

Culver is a long time Scott fisherman and has worked closely with rod designer Jim Bartschi to perfect his favorite rod line, the Scott T2H steelhead and salmon series. Richard has also been experimenting with the Scott S4 models, and recommends the S4958/4 for anglers who prefer a faster action fly rod.

Richard guides from May through September and spends the dark winter writing instructional articles for many of the popular fly fishing magazines.
